Public Service Commission of Wisconsin
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) is an independent regulatory agency dedicated to serving the public interest. The agency is responsible for the regulation of Wisconsin public utilities, including those that are municipally owned, since 1907.​​​​​
Please take note of these resources, we are working hard to keep this information up-to-date as much as possible in light of the constantly changing circumstances:
​
The U.S. Department of Education has announced measures to assist student loan borrowers during the coronavirus national emergency. The following details relate to federal student loans only.
-
Effective immediately, the interest for all federal student loans has been set to 0% for at least the next 60 days.
-
All federally held student loans are eligible for at least 60 days of forbearance, for the period beginning March 13, 2020. Borrowers must contact their loan servicer to request this forbearance - it won't go into effect automatically.
Visit studentaid.gov/coronavirus for more details.
In response to the disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak, the IRS has announced that the deadline for filing your 2019 tax returns has been extended from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020.
If you're owed a refund this year, it's still strongly recommended that you file as soon as possible. If you can file electronically and opt to receive your refund via direct deposit, that's the best way to go. As with many other industries, there's a good chance that IRS operations will slow down soon, so acting fast and staying digital is the best way to ensure your money gets to you as fast as possible.
